The first phase of the subdivision has been developed and contains 52 lots. The portion of the development that is currently under consideration will contain 227 lots. This project was originally approve in 2005 and then again in 2010 with a like number of lots. Since the last concept plan was approved in 2010, the site has changed ownership. The current owners are attempting to complete the development essentially as was previously approved. This is a large subdivision that will only have one access point. The development has a boulevard entrance that serves as an alternative to the second access point. Additionally, the project will contain a number of loop streets that will provide alternative access to the lots in the project. This applicant has stated that they are attempting to obtain additional property that will permit the development of a second access to the subdivision. At present, there is no other viable access point to this site, staff will recommend approval of the single boulevard access and internal loop streets as shown. EFFECT OF THE OPOSAL ON THE SUBJECT OPERTY, SURROUNDING OPERTY AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE 1. The proposed subdivision will have minimal impact on local services since all utilities can be provided to this site. 2. The proposed detached residential subdivision at a density of 3.66 du/ac, is consistent in use and density with the recent rezoning. 3. Any school age children living in this development are presently zoned to attend East Knox Elementary, Carter Middle and Carter High Schools. CONFORMITY OF THE OPOSAL TO CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE 1. The proposed detached residential subdivision meets the standards for development within a (Planned Residential) Zone and all other requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the general standards for uses permitted on review: The proposed development is consistent with the adopted plans and policies of the General Plan and Sector Plan. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. The use is compatible with the character of the neighborhood where it is proposed. The use will not significantly injure the value of adjacent property. The use will not draw additional traffic through residential areas. 3. The approved zoning density of this site is 1-4 dwellings per acre. The proposed 3.66 du/ac does not exceed the proposed zoning density.

3 CONFORMITY OF THE OPOSAL TO ADOPTED PLANS 1. The Northeast County Sector Plan designates this property for low density residential use. The zoning approved for the site allows a density up to 4 du/ac. which is consistent with the Sector Plan. 2. The site is located within the Planned Growth and Rural Area on the Knoxville-Knox County-Farragut Growth Policy Plan map. ESTIMATED TRAFFIC IMPACT: A traffic impact study was prepared by the applicant. The findings of that study were used in formulating the recommendations of this staff report. ESTIMATED STUDENT YIELD: 100 (public and private school children, ages 5-18 years) Schools affected by this proposal: East Knox County Elementary, Carter Middle, and Carter High. School-age population (ages 5 18) is estimated by MPC using data from a variety of sources. While most children will attend public schools, the estimate includes population that may be home-schooled, attend private schools at various stages of enrollment, or drop out of the public system. Students are assigned to schools based on current attendance zones as determined by Knox County Schools. Zone boundaries are subject to change. Estimates presume full build-out of the proposed development. Build-out is subject to market forces, and timing varies widely from proposal to proposal. Student yields from new development do not reflect a net addition of children in schools. Additions occur incrementally over the build-out period. New students may replace current population that ages through the system or moves from the attendance zone. School capacities are subject to change by Knox County Schools through building additions, curriculum or scheduling changes, or amendments to attendance zone boundaries. MPC's approval or denial of this concept plan request is final, unless the action is appealed to Knox County Chancery Court. The date of the Knox County Chancery Court hearing will depend on when the appeal application is filed. MPC's approval or denial of this use on review request is final, unless the action is appealed to the Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals. The date of the Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals hearing will depend on when the appeal application is filed. AGENDA ITEM #: 10 FILE #: 10-SA-15-C 9/30/ :00 PM DAN KELLY PAGE #: 10-3
